  • Method for fabricating an electrical apparatus
    Patent number: 6370767
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for dissipating heat from an electrical component. The method includes providing a planar element including a first electrically and thermally conductive region and a second electrically and thermally conductive region, such that the first and second regions define a spacing therebetween, and wherein the planar element includes at least one mechanically stabilizing tie connected between the first and second regions across the spacing, directly connecting a first terminal of an electrical component to the first region, directly connecting a second terminal of the electrical component to the second regions, such that the electrical component bridges the spacing, and removing the at least one mechanically stabilizing tie from between the first and second regions.
